Brookdale Presbyterian

After a long travel day, the Brookdale Presbyterian team is ecstatic to start this week of missions work!    

Today, the Brookdale Presbyterian team painted the kitchen in Miss Johnnie’s beautiful home. Throughout the day, the team worked very diligently in every task that they were given. They also had the opportunity to not only develop relationships with each other throughout the day, but also with Miss Johnnie. 

During out time here in Houston, we have grown to understand that not only are houses being built, but friendships are too. Throughout the day, as the team built up friendships, they also worked together to help rebuild houses into homes. The team has enjoyed working within the community to restore what was lost.    

Today, the team worked really hard to finish up their work on Miss Johnnie’s kitchen and bathroom. The ladies had an amazing time getting to know Miss Johnnie these past few days, so they decided to take her out to lunch so that they could have some more time to fellowship with her while the paint on the cabinets were drying. After lunch, the team headed back to Miss Johnnie’s home where they finished all their work on her kitchen and bathroom and then they said their goodbyes. The team feels super blessed to have been able to work on Miss Johnnie’s house and will not forget about all the funny stories that she shared with them!    

Today, the team worked on a new home and put up blinds for the homeowners. Although the team struggled a little bit at the beginning once they got a hang of it, the blinds were up extremely quick; when finished, the team was even able to have some time to fellowship with the homeowners and hear about their experience with Hurricane Harvey. After, they finished putting up the blinds, the team spent the second half of their day at Galveston Beach reflecting on their experience here in Houston, Texas.
